The Body Shop has my love

Ok, even though the body shop is owned by the corporate dog Loreal, I still love them. I will continue to support the singular store and abandon everything else Loreal owns. In addition to that, I will stop buying anything that tests on animals. I will continue to look for alternatives, like Almay, Revlon, and Wet n Wild. I've never really paid attention to these brands because Maybelline and Loreal fill the makeup part of walgreens...nonetheless I will try them. 

On to other important Body Shop news. I bought a lot of their stuff, and got a couple free gifts :D ... so lets see the stuff that I bought~


Aloe Facial Cleanser -14$

To me, this cleanser is very close to being HG. It makes me sin feel very clean and does not irritate or dry out my skin. In fact, it helps me reduce my sensitivity, since I've used this product I've noticed a lot less sunburn and sensitivity towards other brands. I always wear spf of at least 30 every day, but my skin always feels sunburn if the sun is out. The main reason I started to get this is because of the aloe ingredient and the absence of fragrance.








 Aloe Toner - 12$ (free for me)





 Tea Tree Body Wash - 13$

gift for friend now clue, so far he says not working tho :/



Nutriganics Smoothing Mask - 22$
Had to choose between this and the aloe mask, this won because of its weight. Hey, heavier = more bang for you buck right? It's interesting because it comes on white but dries to a nearly invisible finish. When you wash it off it becomes white again, which is nice because I can see which spots I still need to wash off.







Bamboo Brush Roll - 20$

brushes are bout 4$ each
75$ value

around 15$ each at regular price

So, I saved about 11$ on each brush squee~


Aloe Soothing Night Cream - 20$

It's a nice night cream that leaves my skin fully moisturized before going to sleep. Looks a bit greasy at first, but let it settle in and work its magic through out the night. I never had dry skin in the morning with this.



Tea Tree Starter Kit - 12$ (usually 24$)

I used my fourth point (a free 15$ gift) to get this for a friend. She says the tea tree oil works wonders!
